Highlights of my Day... Tuesday, January 15

1. Hehehe…. I bet the curse of the walking ajjumas, or so I thought. Joke was on me today as I raced off to beat the Hongik bus with the walking ajjumas on it. Turns out they don’t come in on Tuesdays. Mind ya, jokes on them though, cause while they’re probably sitting somewhere eating the calories I’m burning, I was busting my butt killing off a good 717 calories on the treadmill. Take that you walking ajjumas… how ya like me now?! Hehehe…

2. I’ve gone back to my overdosing on chicken ways and apparently the cute old man in the meat section of the Galleria grocery store was quite intrigued with just how much chicken I’ve been buying. I hate freezing chicken and taking it out to dethaw cause I always forget about doing it until it’s to late and well, the Galleria is practically a hop, skip and a jump away. Anyway, today the cute old man in the meat section questioned me about my chicken, asking me just how many people am I feeding all this chicken to. “Just me.” I replied. He looked so amazed… hehehe.

3. Just yesterday Junior Mint asked me to help him learn English. He knows the odd word here and there but that's about it. He can't read English and well, it's been so long since he studied it in school, let alone attended school. Today I went in search of a book... viola. I gave it to him today and he eagerly blurted out some sentences within its' pages, using the pronunciation translations that is, regardless, it was so super cute!

4. Had sparring practice today but before we got geared up, Junior Mint sat me down and made me watch two of Black Skinny’s fights… both of which resulted in him brutally knocking out his opponent!!! Forget the old saying, “I wanna be like Mike”, I wanna be like Black Skinny! He is the K.O King!

5. I hadn’t really eaten well today; I missed my meal right before training and so I could definitely feel it. In my moment of weakness, I asked Junior Mint if I could drink a cup of coffee and so he made me an extra small cup of coffee but with just as much caffeine as a regular cup. I downed the shot of coffee and no sooner had it reached my tummy but I could feel the shakes coming on… yup, they came! Coffee was definitely a bad idea.

6. We were supposed to go for four rounds but Junior Mint stopped the practice after I almost knocked out my opponent in the third round!!!

7. Despite that though, I wasn’t happy with my performance. I still keep on dropping my left guard. Junior Mint made us both sit down and watch the video taping of us sparring… again and again, dissecting it. I then had to do my brutal rounds on the sand bag, my ab training and then more skipping. Training today turned into a 4 hour event.

8. No sooner had I got home but Q called me up, wanting to meet up. I had started cooking chicken and so I decided to share it with him… he wasn’t impressed. Mind ya, what does he expect… I eat chicken like it’s going out of style and well, I never claimed to be a cook. He didn’t really like my chicken with tomato sauce and overdose of corn… hehehe.

9. Round two… our second official couple argument in 58 days. It started with me asking Q if Junior Mint talked about me today when he went training, and what did he say. I ended up getting all upset and blurted out that he and my mom would be a perfect couple… they both hate me boxing. Now I know that was totally uncalled for and no sooner had I let the words escape my mouth but I was regretting it. Q bounced back from that comment by grabbing my head and trying to put it on his nose. He argued about the dangers of boxing and how he broke his nose. I didn’t know he had once broken his nose but I didn’t want to hear any more of it. I’m not an ignorant fool. I know full well that boxing is dangerous, that’s why I work my butt off a boxing, so that I’m able to defend myself and am prepared. Anyways, I ended up trying to sneak out of his house when he was in the other room but he caught me. He followed me out to the street and then I left in a taxi.

10. It’s hard to stay mad at someone who you know loves you. I know he loves me… he loves me a lot; he tells me every single day… and I mean EVERY day. Anyway, I’ve never thought it healthy to go to sleep angry, nor did I think I was fair to him and so on that note, I made my way back over to his house. I walked in his place. He was standing in the middle of the dark room waiting for me. I walked up to him, wrapped my arms around him, cried, and told him, “I’m sorry… I love you, too”. And it was at that moment, when I looked up to his face that I realized just how awesome he really is… and how much of a stubborn fool I really can be.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Maybe it's not whether it's half full or half empty, could it be the size of the glass?
